1 Mar 20252 Min Read
In an exploration of a different kind of luxury—the luxury of a thriving, abundant natural world—we welcome Ben Goldsmith, a visionary conservationist, to What The Luxe. His journey from the world of finance to the forefront of global rewilding is a testament to a profound passion for restoring ecological balance and creating a lasting legacy.
"Rewilding is about restoring natural processes, the very ones that nature depends on." – Ben Goldsmith
In a world where ecosystems are rapidly declining, the call to restore and protect our environment has never been more urgent. Ben Goldsmith, a financier turned conservationist, is at the forefront of this movement, dedicating his life to rewilding and landscape restoration.
Ben shares his deeply personal story, revealing how nature became a source of healing and purpose after a personal tragedy, and his dedication to restoring not just biodiversity, but the true luxury of natural abundance. He details his innovative work in making nature recovery an investible asset class, and how he envisions brands and companies integrating nature restoration into their business models.
Together, we delve into Ben's philosophy, his pragmatic approach to conservation, and his ambition to create a world where nature thrives. We discuss the importance of restoring the "vast abundance of that which is otherwise quite common," and his vision for a future where rewilding becomes a global movement.
